Carson the Magnificent - Why Bill Zehme's Last Book is Worth the Wait
Manage episode 446267639 series 2769893
David Letterman once said about Bill Zehme, "...he was also emblematic of that era when profile writers were often cooler than the people they were profiling. Whenever he interviewed me, I tried inhumanly hard to impress the guy..."
Bill was a good friend for most of the 30 years I've been in Chicago and Carson was foundational in our relationship. On this episode I talk with one of Bill's best friends, Mike Thomas, who worked with Bill for years. Mike has been a great writer at the Chicago Sun-Times forever and he's authored two terrific books of his own
When Bill died, Mike was the absolute best choice to finish this book
Of course we talk about Carson but we spend time detailing the run of the GOAT, Bill Zehme, as well
